Remote Patrol: Reminder, ";60 Minutes"; Tonight

I’m sitting here watching my beloved Cincinnati Bengals with a 14-0 lead over the Oakland Raiders, and a CBS commercial break just reminded me about tonight’s episode of “60 Minutes,” which contains a segment on mixed-martial arts (my original post is here).

I’m stoked for this report. For those of you not too familiar with “60 Minutes,” it’s easily the most-watched and most-influential television news program (and usually portrays its subjects in a very fair way). Whatever topics are discussed on the program are the source of countless Web searches the following morning. Let’s hope the piece actually promotes Wednesday’s UFC Fight Night 7 on Spike TV.

The segment, however, won’t be exclusively about the UFC, though it will take a look at UFC 63 and the main event of Matt Hughes and Royce Gracie. It’ll also look at the International Fight League and training with MMA legends Pat Miletich and Renzo Gracie.

The program begins at 7 p.m. ET (or once the 4 p.m. CBS football game ends).

UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is probably the greatest female fighter on the planet, which is a tremendous feat. So why are we seemingly so obsessed with arguing about whether she could beat up men?
